Road around loads when I was a kid road mbt for abit but as a young man far too expensive and did not know many people who rode. Started getting to bmx when I was about 14 -15 had a raleigh burner thaat I got cheap because it was 1995 and noone want old school stuff. Whish I still had it, than got a haro freestyler still have the frame, then eventually got a bmx that was "uptodate" saved for ages wanted something diffent and went for a fishbone, a flash in the pan company :( still loved the the bike, still ride it sometimes but with a 18.5" tt it is a bit small. Rode less and less once I went to uni but would ride over the summeres in Oxford. All the time would still go for some rides on my own on to the ridgeway on my old mbt. Commuted to uni on a selection of beaters. Stoped rideing for a year or so, after uni came back to London used the train again for 5 months. Another beater 26 miles r.t commute, guy in my office sells me his coppi for 40 quid. Never change gear, think about simgle speed find out about fixed gear and build up a convertion. Got back into biking again like when I was 15 interested in all bike, want to do a tour e.t.c. My next plan is to build a frame just need to get round to getting some oxygen. Hopefuly have it done by winter.
